If you've been following our reviews you should know that if there's one thing that we all hate is lying about the performance/quality of a product and so I'd be lying if i said that i wasn't expecting more from the 600 SSD by Seagate, at first that is. Y...

Seagate's first SSD, Metallic Casing, Decent Performance
SSDs with better performance available for the similar price
As its first consumer class SSD, Seagate did a pretty good job. One should note however that performance is mediocre. For the price that you're paying for this drive, you could get similar/bit better drives. Most likely this drive will end up as one of...
Abstract: Solid state drives have come down significantly in price over the last few years, so it’s now cheaper than ever to upgrade your PC. While 120/128 GiB units offer the best compromise between price and capacity in most cases, some users may opt for a 480...
Back in 2008 when Intel leashed the X25-M SSD, I would never have predicted that Samsung would be the company leading the charge on next generation storage technology. Sure they have access to their own DRAM fabs and all that, but being one of the smaller...

Higher power consumption than other current-generation SSDs, Merely modest small-file performance, More overprovisioning may lead to longer drive life, but also means less available storage space
